"But Rose, it's much too dangerous for you to go to the Strawberry Field. Especially when you're seven months pregnant!" Exclaimed Pearl as she was concerned for Rose's safety and her unborn child.
After Rose and Greg decided to have a baby, they told the other team members about the decision. Garnet was happy for the two and thought that a child on the team would ease the tension between Greg and Pearl who fought over Rose's affection. Amethyst was ecstatic over having a baby brother or sister, having fun with them and pulling pranks with him/her. Pearl, while she was bothered with Greg mating with her beloved gem, thought of him as nothing but a sperm donor for her and Rose's future child. Pearl believed that Rose would break up with Greg and the whole team would raise the baby together. While Rose was pregnant, she still had personal missions to complete and she outright refused to let anyone else do them for fear that one of the team could get hurt. Plus, going out on missions would relieve her of the stress of Amethyst's antics and Pearl's putting down of Greg. She rubbed her belly while looking at the group.
"While I understand your concern Pearl, this is a personal mission for me and there hasn't been a sighting of a corrupted gem in the field for years. It'll be safe for us." said Rose as the last part was meant for the baby whose gender was a he but she wanted to keep it a surprise. Pearl was just about to retort when Garnet intruded into the conversation.
"Rose is right Pearl. If she says this mission is safe, we should take her word. Besides, I see nothing in my future vision that will be a danger to Rose." said Garnet with a stoic face. Amethyst cut into the conversation also.
"Yeah P, you calling Rose a liar?" asked Amethyst
"Amethyst! I would never call her a liar!" said an irritated Pearl as she walked up to her Rose and placed her hands on her belly and gem.
"I'm just concerned, that's all." Rose took Pearl's hands and clasped them together.
"Don't worry Pearl. I'll be back soon safe and sound." said Rose. Pearl sighed and backed away.
"Just be safe." said Pearl
Rose smiled; "Of course I will." and warped to the Strawberry Fields. Pearl once again turned to Garnet.
"Are-"
"Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen to her or her child. Relax and maybe stop Amethyst from scaring the locals." said Garnet with a smile. Pearl turned around and shrieked when she saw Amethyst shapeshift into a shark and jump into the water, intending to scare people at the docks.
"Amethyst Stop! We can not get in anymore trouble!" shouted Pearl as she dived into the water and swam after Amethyst. Garnet entered her room to do some meditation.
Strawberry Field
"Here we are." said Rose as she took in the view of the Strawberry Field. Scattered around the field were weapons left from the gem war five thousand years ago. Returning to this place brought back painful memories for her but she shook it off and had to continue her mission. What she was looking for was an important and potentially dangerous teleporting device. Homeworld discovered this strange device in an underground cave in the arctic when it was trying to find suitable kindergarten locations. When Homeworld Scientists began tinkering with it, an Apatite was swallowed by the "boom tube" that the box generated and the gem was sent back to Homeworld. Once their scientists found out the box had the capability of sending gems to faraway locations in a few seconds, Yellow Diamond gleefully took notice. She thought of this box as the greatest thing to ever come to the Great Gem Empire. The capability of sending troops to different planets in a short amount of time sounded incredible. But one by one, scientists were swallowed by the tube and sent to different locations, others were not found at all. Then, the war came and when homeworld gems were being pushed back at the field, the desperate soldiers tried to bring reinforcements to the field with no avail. The box became lost when the three diamonds unleashed their corruption song onto the Earth which caused the box to be lost in the ensuing chaos. But after five thousand years, the box was found thanks to Garnet's future vision. The box was supposed to be located at a small hill where there was a giant battle axe near it. As Rose was walking around, she thought about the different names for her son.
Greg did say if it was a boy he would like to name his Jack in his grandfather's honor but I find Steven to be more suitable. No doubt Pearl would want the baby's name to be a gem name. Thought Rose
As she walked farther away from the warp pad, she spotted a giant battle axe and something shiny that was deep in the ground. On closer inspection, it was the teleportation device.
"Mission complete. Time to bubble this object so it won't cause any other danger." said Rose. She got down on her knees and carefully dug around the box so it wouldn't generate a portal. Carefully but surely, she lifted the box and prepared to bubble it but then the box turned on that startled Rose but what startled her more was that it seemed to telepathically communicate with her.
"I have seen your memories Miss Quartz. You and your little halfling are not safe here." said the box in a robotic tone of voice. Soon, rings appeared over the pink gem and a tube slid down over her. In a few seconds, Rose Quartz was missing and all that was left was a burning perfectly shaped circle in the ground with no one in sight.
On a beach was a lone woman. She had blue eyes, blonde hair and fair skin but what was notable was her outfit which consisted of a gold and white greek outfit which a black circle in the middle of her waist. To complete her outfit, she had a golden tiara on her head that went down the sides of her face. This woman was known as Aresia and she lived on the island of Themyscira populated solely by women as men were not allowed to set foot on the island. She came to the beach to pay her respects to the only man she'll ever like: the sea captain who sacrificed his life to save Aresia from pirates. A tear came down her face and looked up at the sky.
"Apart from you, all men are unnecessary and need to be wiped out. I hear the others say not all men are bad, that their are men who do good in the world like the legendary Batman or Superman. But it's all lies! If it's true, give me a sign Aphrodite. Anything." Muttered and pleaded Aresia.
"Thought so." said Aresia and began to walking away. Then, a bright light appeared before Aresia who covered her eyes from the damaging light and once it dimmed down, in front of her stood a tall and beautiful woman who had on a white dress with a strange gem on her navel and a strange box in her hands. She was clearly pregnant but what was the most notable was her hair. This hair was the brightest pink she's ever seen and it was in beautiful and luscious curls which framed her face. Aresia was stunned at this woman's beauty and didn't even hear the strange woman's question.
"Excuse me human but what is your name where am I?"
A/N I just had this idea for a while and I really wanted to get it out. Some of the Amazonian will be getting strong character overhauls and in this story, gems are capable of giving birth without giving up their gems so Rose will still be alive. Should I continue this? Please let me know
